Forwards From My Dad: Evian Babies

Posted: August 5th, 2009 | Author: Drunkist | Filed under: Videos | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

My dad is constantly sending me forwards, and they tend toward the obscene – nudity without warning, dirty jokes, pro-Palin propaganda…you know the type. This video of roller skating babies is by far the most disturbing thing he’s inflicted on my inbox, without a doubt. I will never drink Evian again (not that I ever did anyway).

Teen Witch Rap: Top That!

Posted: July 23rd, 2009 | Author: Drunkist | Filed under: Videos | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

On the surface, this is just a little peek at what white people in 1989 thought rap was about. Just below the surface, there were, apparently at that time at least, hetero males who pranced around in tank tops and vests and hawaiian shirts, dancing up on each other. But the real subtext of class, race, and witchcraft, kicks in at 36 seconds. Prepare for face melt.

Dancing With the Star Wars

Posted: July 23rd, 2009 | Author: Drunkist | Filed under: Videos | Tags: , , , | 1 Comment »

I never thought I’d see anything Star Wars-related that made me cringe more than the oft whispered-about Holiday special. Turns out the creepy amalgamation of Bea Arthur, Life Day, and un-subtitled Wookies pales in comparison to watching horribly-costumed theme park employees gyrate to music from the late 90s. I feel like Jar Jar Binks just bust a nut inside my eye, to show me where he comes from. I double-Dewback dare you to make it through all 12 minutes.

Thanks a lot, Geekologie


Warner Herzog’s Dancing Chicken

Yes, that Warner Herzog. The one who saved Joaquin Phoenix from the aftermath of a car wreck. Prepare for, in the words of the bard, “face melt.”
